Pastor’s Message

Greetings St. Mattheans!

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who showed up this past Saturday for our Service Day, which took place from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Over 30 people helped to put together flood buckets, hygiene kits, and did some gardening around the church. It was a complete success! Our commitment to service was in full display! Thank you! Your work will support the many victims of natural disasters still struggling around the world.

This week we are inviting you to take some intentional time to pray together as a congregation. There are two specific ways you can do this. One is by showing up to the 6:30-6:45 a.m. morning prayer. All you have to do is call this number 712-775-7031, (this is a long-distance call, so please consider your phone plan), enter our access code 111-576-270# and wait for the host to begin. Muting your phone is optional. This week, Bob Lesche is our prayer leader and he is doing an amazing job. I am thoroughly enjoying listening to Bob and the way he helps me to start my day the right way.

The second way you can pray with us is by coming to the Wednesday night Simple Prayer service at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary. This service provides a beautiful opportunity to spend no more than 40 minutes in quiet and meaningful prayer at the end of the day.

One of our goals is to break the attendance records for both prayer opportunities; most importantly, our goal is that through prayer this week you may get closer to God and listen to God’s Voice leading you, comforting you and loving you, Blessings
